I went to FIT museum. I especially enjoyed the exhibition at the lower floor which is “Fashion from the Extreme.” It is already winter now and I’m wearing down jackets. I’m currently making a winter jackets for my design studio which this exhibition helped me in different aspects; How winter garments can be artistic, what detail I can, what fabric mostly, How the padding used in winter garments.

I think this padding dress is exhibited in this exhibition because of its fabric; padding and fur which are typical fabric for winter garments. You cannot know its shape when you see the front of this dress. Because it looks as it is a dress with wide shoulder and shore sleeves but it is a tube top dress. This dress breaks prejudice in that it doesn’t cover shoulder and arm even though it is a winter dress. I think that’s the contribution of this dress to fashion history. The front fake shape is 2D. It ignores body. It flattens body. But it doesn’t look strange when you see from the front.
